Subd storage memory saver

!
First of all i want to say that you plugin SUdB is fantastic. Simple and powerfull like Sketchup.And now one question:
Is possible in some of next version of your plugin make this feature.
For example you have simple cube in skp file and it has about 50 kb size, than when i i make 3 times itteration, cube is sphere now and has lots of polygons and bigger size.
How to make that sketchup save cube as cube and seperate data about how many iterations are made on cube.
I hope you will understand me

As things are right now with the SketchUp API I don't have any way to address this. If you subdivide and save the model it will be larger. Something which is not possible to change.
What kind of sizes are you running into?
-
I have made a few tests with simple cube and with evry new iteration skp file become larger what is normal. I dont remember noe exact sizes, i just want share with you idea but problem to implement this is Sketchup API as you say. And without this function plugin is the best of its kind on the market.

Yes. This option is really necessary. Maybe solution to the problem can be of a button "turn off/on subdivided" for all subd-objects in file. We can turn off all subdivided objects before saving. And turn on after reload.
In the program ZBrush has a similar option for all SubTool.
Low Res vis- set the visible subtools to their lowest subdivision level
Hi Res vis - set the visible subtools to their highest subdivision level.
They apply only to those objects that have subdivision levels. So by applying subdivided to all objects in file, we do not apply really to all objects, but only those which already have subdivision level attribute.

That could be a useful function, indeed. I'm logging a feature request for that.
